The Arc
This four-verse shabad places its Pause at the second file, insisting that real life is life in the One, kept in good company. Around it, a series of 'as if' images turns outward wealth inward: fed by the food of Truth; dressed in fine robes when singing day and night; riding elephants and chariots when seeing the One's path within; and finally finding, deep in mind and body, the One who is the very treasure of peace.
